Planting Corn
First, the field must be prepared. The planting began a few hours later. This is the field next to our house. Now we wait for the corn to grow. Oh, wait! It has started to grow! The above photos were all taken on June 4 – Today June 15 (11 days later) – this is […]
Mourning Dove and Something to Ponder
They frequent our feeders and the ground area around them. I enjoy their morning and evening cooing. I think the one above is a female because her head is evenly brown. My bird book tells me the males have a light gray crown on top of their head. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Amish Church in Our Neighborhood
~~~ Sunday, June 9 ~~~ I love when we are home on a Sunday morning when Amish church is at one of our closest neighbors. Amish in the nearby community come from a variety of directions, but when it is at Eli’s, more buggies than usual go by our house. This traffic began about 8:20 […]

Daylilies and Something to Ponder
Our daylilies add a beautiful yellow to our yard after most of the spring flowers and blooming trees have moved on to all green foliage. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Removing Some Very Tall and Old Locust Trees
But, first, Cerwin asked our son Jere if he could come the evening before and remove some low branches of other trees that are in the way when he mows yard. He did this the day before, because All Season Tree and Bucket Services, Lititz, can grind them up in their large machinery. Wednesday, June […]
A Pretty Goldfinch in His Summer Colors and Something to Ponder

Johnny Jump-Up Violet and Something to Ponder
My flower identification Ap tells me these are a Johnny Jump-up Violet or Wild Pansy. No matter their name, they are a pretty addition to one of our potted patio flowers this summer. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Sight
~~~ Saturday, June 8 ~~~ We are just back at the house after seeing the movie Sight at Penn Cinema in Lititz. We had Theatre 9 to ourselves. It should have been filled. After watching this movie, it feels like my life has been very shallow. From the Internet: Sight is a 2024 American biographical […]
Three Great Granddaughters in Our Yard
~~~ Saturday, June 1 ~~~ I remember the day (like yesterday) in 1967 when I looked out our kitchen window into a yard not yet seeded, and thought, “Someday there will be children playing in that yard.” At the time we had two children, and I couldn’t know that there would be two more, plus […]

Bleeding Hearts and Something to Ponder
I love seeing these pretty pink and white flowers in the woodsy part of our yard. They were especially pretty this year. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~

Our Redbuds and Something to Ponder
I found these photos in my unused spring pictures and wonder why I didn’t use them before. Our redbud tree was prettier than usual this spring. The photos were taken on April 23. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Blessings of Hope with Anthony
~~~ Wednesday Morning, May 29 ~~~ Last week I invited our great grandson Anthony to go along with me to Blessings of Hope. He was excited to volunteer and do whatever job we had to do. He turned ten years old in early May, so he is eligible to volunteer. Cerwin could not go last […]
